Overview

The West tour takes you to the lush northwest, full of cliffs, valleys, forests, mountains, waterfalls and cows! Always far from the beaten track.

So many experiences, in just one day. Levada walk, swimming, and incredible landscapes.

Get ready to be amazed by panoramic views and explore the heart of nature, while learning all about Madeira's traditions and history.

I have the BEST vehicle for that, an UMM (open classic ex-army Portuguese jeep - it has a cover also for all weather conditions) and creativity to take you to places that you just have to see!

So, join me and let´s have fun together, exploring without stress, no Rush… as friends, fleeing the Tourist Traps and Crowds.

If the weather permits, we will walk in a section of a levada for about 30/40 minutes (optional).

We will stop 2 hours in Porto Moniz for lunch & swim (Natural Pools)

I will do my best to provide you a unique experience that you will never forget!
